Jen’s Notes

In our estimation, Provenance serves up some solid wines. Though usually not wow-me distinctive, they are consistently well made, tasty, and lovely to drink. Their SB is actually really interesting - a little of that herbal/grassy character we usually see from Marlborough, NZ offerings, but without the funk. We love the funk, but if you don't, this should be at the top of your list. Citrus flavors (lemon, key lime, tangerine) and a dash of something tropical (guava?) round out the palate. It is clean, focused and thoroughly enjoyable. Going out on a limb: probably Napa's best SB.
